Viron eQ Salt Chlorinator With Bluetooth | Installation and Operation Manual
Page 10
For both applications, ensure the non return
valve is inserted into the tube. Ensure it is fitted in
correctly, when fitted correctly you should be able
to blow through the valve into the tube.
1. Connect the clear PVC tube to the longer
spigot of the vent kit lid on the chemical
container.
2. Ensure that the non-return valve is fitted
correctly.
3. Connect the other end of the PVC tube to
the inlet of the acid pump on the front of the
controller.
4. Connect the remaining hose to the outlet
of the acid pump on the underside of the
controller.
5. Thread the remaining end of the PVC hose
through the cable gland in the 50mm PVC
mixing cell fitting so that it passes through the
cable gland by 25mm to 30mm.
6. Position the injection chamber in a horizontal
position after the Chlorinator cell on the return
to pool side.
NOTE: Position of the injection point can be placed
before the cell, however care should be made
to ensure that acid cannot siphon back over
probes if in use.
Do not use the sensor housing cell as the
injection point on an eQ Chlorinator.
Acid Injection points should always be AFTER
the probes positioning. Ideally in a location that
would prevent back siphoning.
TIP: Soaking the ends of the PVC tubing in hot water
or gently heating with a lighter will make it easier
to push onto the barb.
5.3.2 pH Sensor (optional)
An optional pH sensor eliminates the need to
regularly test your pH balance of your pool and
spa. The sensor must be checked and recalibrated
every 6 months.
When installed and connected, the Viron
e-Quilibrium will automatically detect the pH
sensor and the factory pH setpoint is 7.6. You can
adjust your ideal pH setting in the Settings menu.
Connecting the pH Sensor
The pH sensor kit is supplied with a sensor
chamber that is connected into 50mm PVC pipe
work using 50mm union tails and lock nuts.
1. Install the sensor chamber horizontally,
where possible after the filter and before the
chlorinator cell (see Figure 11).
2. Glue in 50mm PVC pipe into union tails.
3. Remove rubber boot from pH sensor and
screw into the sensor chamber port.
4. Blank off the remaining ports in the sensor
chamber using the caps and gaskets supplied.
5.3.3 Chlorine Sensor (optional)
An optional chlorine sensor allows the Viron eQ
Chlorinator to automatically control the chlorine
and pH levels of your pool and spa water. A
chlorine sensor is highly recommended for pool
and spa combinations, spa pools and indoor pools
and spas.
The Chlorine Sensor uses Oxidation Reduction
Potential (ORP) readings to determine the chlorine
level in your pool or spa water. ORP is the most
reliable and safest way to determine the level of
the sanitiser in your water but is affected by other
factors influencing the efficiency of the chlorine.
Water pH, the use of sunscreens (cyanuric acid),
Hardness and other items can all influence the
reading of the ORP
The Viron eQ Chlorinator will adjust the production
of chlorine to meet the ORP which may mean
the chlorine level, when measured in simple PPM
(parts per million) levels may change from time to
time. This is normal. An example of higher chlorine
readings when measured in ppm is if the acid
runs out and is not replaced. In this case, the pH
will start to increase and the effectiveness of the
chlorine will reduce. As the chlorine effectiveness
reduces the ORP measurement declines and the
Viron eQ Chlorinator will increase the power to the
electrode cell to produce more chlorine. Once the
pH level is corrected the Viron eQ Chlorinator will
reduce or turn off the power to the electrode cell as
the ORP reading will rise.
Once connected, the eQ Chlorinator will
automatically detect the sensor and a factory pre-
set chlorine level of 600 mv will be maintained.
Connecting the Chlorine Sensor
The chlorine sensor is provided with a 3 metre
RJ12 cable for connection to a Viron variable
speed energy efficient pump.
Remove rubber boot from the chlorine sensor and
screw into the sensor chamber port (glued into
pipework either before filter or between filter and
Chlorinator cell).
The sensors should be mounted on horizontal
pipe only and care should be taken to ensure the
sensors are always covered by water by installing
them in pipework that remains flooded.
The Ideal location for a pH or ORP probe is on a
horizontal pipe run, with the probes facing DOWN
or on a 45° Angle (see figure 11).
